Dr. Christopher Calendine answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Normal for 16: Facial hair is normal at 16 yo. Most boys start developing sexually between the ages of 10 and 13, and continue to grow until they're around 16-18. If a boy had no puberty changes by age 16, you should speak with your physician.
